The following official account of the capture o : Alsen appears in the Preussischer Staatsanzeiger o this morning : __ _ Head-quarters, July I, 1864. Upon receipt of an order from his Royal High ness Prince Frederick Charles to undertake a land ing upon the island of Alsen within the next few days, Gen. Von Horworth, at present commanding the combined army corps (the 6th and 13th divisions) occupying Sundewitt, determined, after completing all his preparations the preceding night, to cross at dawn on the 29th ult. The passage was to be effected upon 160 boats and 32 pontoons by the entire army corps at the Satrupholz, northward of Sondberg, The difficulties of this undertaking were very considerable, and apparent even to an unpractised eye. History contains few examples of the passage of a river in front of the enemy. Here it was re quisite to cross an arm of the sea whose width, depth, and rapid current prevented the erection of a bridge, and whose hostile shores bristled with numerous well armed batteries and entrenchments. It was necessary to expose the troops to a foreign element upon a number of slight boats not only threatened by wind and weather, but by many hostile war ships commanding the sea, the iron-clad vessels in particular, capable of inflicting serious losses. Even if the landing of the first batta lions succeeded it was necessary to be prepared for encountering a superior enemy, who long aince expecting this attack, would have had time enough during the suspension of arms to re-organise his troops and make every preparation for energetically repulsing all attempts to land.

The Danes also set fire to Sonder borg before retreating, thus uselessly destroying the town, already totally evacuated by the inhabitants. The efforts of the Prussian troops which first en tered succeeded in extinguishing the conflagra tion, and preventing further damage. The Danes also set fire to their large camp of huts near Ulkebul. His Royal Highness Prince Frederick Charles had already crossed at Sonderborg towards 8 o'clock, and thence followed the pursuing troops upon the horse of an orderly. The beloved leader was received with loud and hearty cheers by the victorious Westphalians and Brandenburgers. The trophies of the day cannot yet be precisely stated. It is stated, however, that the enemy, who had at least 12 battalions of infantry, amounting to 10.000 and 12d00 men, upon Alsen, has left up wards of 2,000 prisoners (among them one com mander of a regiment, and 30 to 40 other officers), and over 50 cannon, several of them fully horsed field guns, with numbers of vehicles and war mate• rial, in the hands of the victors. His loss in killed and wounded also exceeded ours. THE DANISI-IACCOUNT. COPENHAGEN, July 1. The official 4espatehes of Gen. Steinman, narrat ing the loss of Alsen, have not yet been made pub lic. The following are the only official accounts of the disaster that have transpired. The Ministry of War published the following telegram from head quarters yesterday:-- June 30, Noon, _ _ Despatches of this morning, sent off at 8 45, an nnunce that our troops had withdrawn fighting from their position beyond Horup Haff. From this point the enemy did not pursue them further, whereupon the division retreated in good order to Kekenis, so that our troops were beyond the Haff at noon. At 1.30 this morning the enemy passed Lysabbel towards Wibey, but at that time the greater portion of our force had embarked.

The means of transport admitted of 31 battalions being brought over at a time. Each detachment embarked at four different points, and was landed at as many different places upon the hostile coast, opposite to the Fohlenkappel Wood. Lieutenaat General Von Mauston, to whose bold energy the first execution of the expedition was entrusted, had the Roder and Goben Brigades under his command for the day. The Roder Brigade (64th and 24th Regiments) and the Mandenburg Tager battalion No. 3 had the advanced guard and were first embarked. Generals Von Manstein and Roder were in the foremost boats of the first detachmen t. MADAME TUSSAUD'S HISTORICAL GALLERY; established 28 years at the Bazaar, Baker-street. NEW ADDITION.

The steamer Hertha and the gunboat Willemaes with two gun sloops, got oat of the Fohrde, in the Alsen Sand, but a gun sloop and a gun yacht had to be blown up to avoid their falling into the enemy's hands. The crews were saved. The Hertha, the Willemaes, and the two gun sloops landed 1,000 men of the Alsen garrison at Faaborg, upon the south of Fuhnen, A despatch from Kekenis yesterday states that the liner Frederick VI. and the depot ship Bellona had also reached Fuhnen with troops.

When the boats were about two hundred yards distant from the hostile shore the first shots of the enemy's outposts blazed at them through the twi light. The force in the boats returned the fire, and replied to the first hail of grape from the enemy's batteries with a thundering hurrah. Springing out of the boats and wading through the shallows, the brave Brandenburgers rapidly gained the opposite bank, stormed the hostile bat teries, and drove the enemy back into the Fohlen kappel Wood, notwithstanding his desperate attempts to hold his rifle pits. In the meantime the enemy had thrown up fire balls, which, lighting up the entire shore, clearly revealed the Prussian attack. Scene in the Rouse of Commons Last Night. The opening of the lists for the great parliamen tary passage of arms was characterised by all the material features which denote intense public inte rest. The purlieus of the House of Commons were crowded, as might have been expected, and within the walls of the privileged chamber the gathering of members was early and the attendance large. Ordinary arrangements were set at nought, and in the gentlemanly scramble for seats the rank and file on both sides found themselves in strange and re• mote places, and were abundantly content they had got any places at all. On this occasion the gallery on the left hand or the Speaker was the most full, the point of attraction this time being the front Opposition bench. At exactly half-past four the hero of the next three hours entered the house, and was greeted with a very hearty cheer by his friends. The first object on which Mr Disraeli's eye could have fallen was Mr Gladstone, looking remarkably fresh, and decorated with a rose in his button-hole. In a short time Lord Palmerston entered, and the peculiar parliamentary applause was loud and gene ral from behind and below the Ministerial benches. The slight obstruction to the real business of the evening having been disposed of, Mr Disraeli pre. and commenced in a remarkably for a period counting by more tdsehidnaatnecdtainchhtionionuseerl; and a t; nd a half confined himself to nar rative, interspersed with but little comment, and abstaining almost wholly from anything like aggression. As his manner is he turned from the Ministerial phalanx, and talked at an angle to a point somewhere between the last seat ox the front bench below the gangway and the peers' box on the left of the great door of the house. However unconsciously, this position was well chosen,while, and just when Mr Disr a eli was criticising for some of his despatches, Lord Russell ca me in and seated hi mse lf exactly i n the s i ght-l i ne of the Speaker. At thi s ti me every noo k an d corner after : to e of the house was full, and conspicuous in a front seat below the bar was the Poet Laureate, sitting in close contact with the Duke of Argyll; while the gallery over the cloak and the passage behind was with peers and foreign diploma is , whom was the Duke of Cam bridge. Seldom if ev er h as a great member of Parliament had so full and so a t tent i ve an au di ence as Mr. Disrae li drew on this occasion ; and probably th e re has seldom been t st overflowing e among st a special party speech de livered under it circums t ances of less excitement, or which h lie chee rs . E ver y p o i n t w hi c h was made was faithfully ca ug ht u p by th e Opposi tion; and, as m an y of that body were in the galle r y hiceed s ofew opposite to their leaders, their cheers reverberated with a sound as i f t hey oame from the suppo r ters of the Government , producin g an odd effect. But in truth the incitement to burst out with spontaneity rare—the most pronouncedt invitations to laughter ed a pathetic appeal from the Government to Fra nce for aid and co-operation, bei ng w h en M r Di srae li, r w e a a s di s n p g ar w se h , a t t he he humorous desig as it were put his voice into mourning and whined out his words, concluding by a mock resort to his handkerchief. No doubt When the moment of peroration came, the ri ght lion. gentleman exerted himself vigorously, and went in for loud declama. Lion ; but there was effort in this, as there was all through the speech, and m ore than an ordinary tone of that coldness which seems constitutional in Mr. Disraeli, and which he does not escape from except when he flings responsibility to the winds, which was probably by no means his intention on this moment. Daring the first three-quarters of this two hours and three-quarters, oration, Mr Glad. stone, following a custom With him when Mr Dis raeli is speaking, lay back in his seat, with his eyes closed, and seemed to court a slumber, sugges 311ESSRS. HOWELL, JAMES, and CO., beg respectfully to inform their patron that in conse quence ofthe approaching termination of the season, and the arrangements they have made for the early receipt of their Autumn novelties, they have determined to offer the Summer portion of their valuable stock at a very great diminution in price. With this intention, they have carefully revised the goods it the various departments specially to effect such a redu lion, and offer them to sa e this d,y (July let) throughout the month and during August. Messrs. Howell, James, and Co., respectfully solicit an early inspection. The boats were rapidly rowed back to the Schleswig shore. The pontooners of the 3d and 7th battalions at the seat of war had been specially reinforced for the purpose of this undertaking by three fresh companies from home (belonging to the 2d, 4th, and sth battalions), and the new arrivals vied in devotion and endurance with their veteran comrades. Favoured by the calmness of the sea the crossing rapidly continued with comparatively trifling loss. The numerous battle ships did not venture within range of the Prussian batteries. The Rolf Krake, which lay in the Augustenburg Fohrde with some gunboats, and from that position had already fired upon the troops first rowed across, stean.ed to the northern issue of the Alsen Sound, while the second detachment of the Roder Brigade was crossing and fired shell, without, so far as is known, occasioning any important loss. Attaeked by our strand bat teries and two rifled field batteries which unlim bered in her immediate vicinity, the ironclad steamed along the whole line under continuous fire, and apparently seriously damaged, down the Alsen Fohrde; she is said to have returned subsequently to escort the gunboats lying in the Augustenburg Fohrde, after which she disappeared attogther from the scene. Meantime the enemy's batteries were incessantly cannonaded by our artillery and thereby prevented from annihilating the infantry on their passage. Pressing on victoriously, the Roder Brigade and Brandenburg Jagers had succeeded in driving the enemy out of the Fohlenkappel Wood. Here fell at the head of his company, deeply lamented by his comrades, Capt. Count Maltzahn, of the Bth Bran denburg Regiment, No. 64, an officer who had re. peatedly distinguished himself before Duppel, and had been decorated for his bravery. Lieutenant Klebmann, an officer of the Land wehr, who com manded the Regiment, No. 64, was killed at this point. Qrs. ending Shares in Shares Total Receipts. progress. Complete. Shares. s. d.

The engage ment was checked here for some time, but the serried advance of the Goben brigade, which had now crossed, and was rapidly hurried up, with the arrival of a rifled field battery, quickly decided the struggle in our favour. Notwithstanding his ob stinate resistance the enemy was driven from posi tio❑ to position, and shortly after six o'clock the village of Kjas was entirely in our possession. Towards eight Sonderborg was taken by the Goben Brigade, although the enemy had again attempted to make a stand to the north of this town. His retreat by way of Ulkebul and Wallerup now became more hurried.

Those who remained were well re warded by hearing a speech which, as it was step by step an answer to that of Mr. Disraeli, was necessarily an impromptu ; which combined argu ment, illustration, humour—more genuine humour than Mr. Gladstone often developes—sarcasm, high sentiment, and 4 boldness in defence which amounted Shortly after 8 o'clock the portion of the infantry of the combined army corps, two rifled field bat teries, and part of the Zieten Regiment of Hussars, were upon the island ; and, notwithstanding the fatigues of the hurried, in emulation of their officers' example, to follow up the retreating enemy to his ships. A brief engagement took place again at the Suderhalz, near Horup Haff, in which part of the Schmidt Brigade—principally, it is believed, the 4th Westphalian Infantry Regiment No. 5 8, took several hundred prisoners who had been un able to reach the liekenis peninsula, whither the main body of the enemy had withdrawn. First Lieutenant Bar, adjutant of Regiment No. 53, a talented and promising officer, fell here, shot through the heart. From liexenis the greater part of the defeated enemy is believed to have reached his ships.

If a speech could settle the political contest now going on, the debate might have ended there. As it wee, it brought out cheers from many a lukewarm supporter of the Government, and concentrated with a certain in voluntariness, the sympathies of every member— save one, perhaps—who were gathered in the rear and flank of Ministers. The intervention of Mr. Newdegate and Mr. Kinglake with their amend ments, and with cognate liveliness of speech, gave room for repose to the nerves of the House, which were not too severely shattered by the exercitation of General Peel, redeeming his promise that the Government should hear from him some day on their Danish policy. It is not to be denied that the gal lant general made some points which compensated for the jerkness, not to say ruggedness of his style. As to the Lord Advocate, be is never lively, though generally argumentative; but on this occasion had evidently consented to perform the useful, but not very dignified, part of a stop-gap. With a four nights' debate before them, Ministers must be careful of their special reserves. Lord Stanley, judging from the cheers which ever and anon greeted him, must have been epigrammatic ; but his vocal defects make it necessary for those at any distance from him to take his points upon credit. In a struggle between Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Osborne, and Mr. Cobden for the adjournment of the debate, the latter was successful, and an advantageous reopening of the discussion will be thereby attained.—Telegraph. //>, PRICE lcl.

THE ATROCITIES BY THE PRUSSIANS. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY in pursuance of a notice which he had given previously to the noble earl the Secre tary of Foreign Affairs, called attention to the following telegram, viz : " SONDERBURG, July I.—At the partial clearance of the battle-field, yesterday, 400 Swedish volunteers were dis covered to whom no quarter was given." Which in plain terms meant that 400 wounded men, left in a helpless state on the field of battle, were butchered in cold blood by the Prussian soldiery. He wished to know if her tilajesty's Government had received any information which would enable him to speak to the truth of the statement. He believed it was true from what he had heard of other acts of cruelty perpetrated by the Prussians. Earl RUSSELL said he had no information respecting the matter, but be would make inquiry into the circum stances and communicate with the noble earl. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS. In reply to Lord URANWORTH, Lord BROUGHAM said he did not intend proceeding further with his bill en this subject this session. THIRD READINGS.

Colonel NORTH asked the Under Sect etary to the Trea sury if any arrangement had yet been arrived at between the Treasury and the War Department relative to the pay went of rates by officers in the army for houses occupied by them in the performance of their public duties ? Mr PEEL said that the committee appointed on the subject were still considering the question sub judiee. THE REGIUM DONUM. Sir H. BRUCE asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Government would, in accordance with the re quest of a numerously signed memorial, increase the grant commonly called " ltegium Donum" to the Presbyterian Church in Ireland ? Mr PEEL said it was not considered advisable to recom mend an increase of the grant. POLICE-CONSTABLE 244 B. Mr WHALLEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether police-constable 244 B, as to whom Mr Arnold, the magistrate at Westminster Police court, publicly stated on two several occasions in the month of May last, that he could not believe him on his oath, or to that effect, is sill continued in the force. Sir G. GREY said that no representation on the subject had been made by Mr Arnold to the Home Office. GOVERNMENT ORDNANCE. Sir J. HAY asked the Under Secretary of State for War to lay upon the table of the house a return showing the number of guns in store and in use of such a nature as the late experiments show can be effectually used against armour-clad ships of the Warrior class ; and asked what steps Government were taking to provide a sufficient supply of guns for the armament of our torts and ileets, of such a nature as late experiments show can be effectually used against armour-clad ships and forts, specifying as follows :—the calibre of gun ; whether rifled or smooth• bore ; the construction of gun ; cast-iron, coil, steel, or wrought-iron ; the weight of gun ; the length of bore; the weight of shot and shell; and, the service charge of powder. TheMarquisof HARTINGIONsaid that such details as were asked for by the hon. baronet could not advisably be subwitted to public inspection. Efforts were b e i ng ma d e to give an adequate supply of rifled guns to the service. THE RUMOURS IN REFERENCE TO ALSEN. In reply to Lord R. MONTAGU, - - Mr I:A - YARD said that no official information on the subject had been received by the Government on this subject. THE DANO-GERMAN QUESTION. ADJOURNED DEBATE, Mr COBDEN resumed the adjourned debate on this most important question, in which, as our readers are aware, Mr Disraeli, in a speech of great power, moved last night a resolution to the effect that the foreign policy of the Government was not entitled to confidence. Having referred to the amendments proposed by Mr Newdegate and Mr Kinglake, he said he must admit that the conduot of the Foreign-office in reference to continental affairs was not calculated to raise this country in the eyes of Europe. He trusted that the result of the failures in re ference to foreign policy would lead to the question of foreign policy being transferred from the Foreign-office to the House of Commons. In reading the despatches in regard to this subject, he could not avoid coming to the conclusion that our Government had been deficient in sagacity and a knowledge of the want and wishes of the continental States. He deprecated in the strongest terms our interference in foreign affairs, and ridiculed the idea of tiny treaty except that of Vienna, which bound this country to go to war, and that treaty merely bound us to prevent any member of the Bonaparte family s tting on the throne of France. (Laughter) In dealing with this question of Denmark this country had ignored altogether the interests of 1,000,000 persons connected with the Duchies, which formed the subject of dispute. He contended that as far as regarded Denmark, it had violated its engagements in respect to these duchies, and endeavoured to thrust on them a language that was uncongenial, in the same way that Holland had attempted to do in respect to Belgium when she sought to force into adoption an uncouth and perishing tongue, He believed this country was omnipotent for purposes of self- ' defence. The hon. member at some length advocated the doctrines of peace and arbitration in that style of argument for which he is remarkable, and concluded without stating on which side he intended to vote.

MEETING THIS DAY. The quarterly meeting of the shareholders was held this day at the offices, 33, Norfolk street, Strand. Mr GRIINEISEN, the Secretary, having read the adver tisement convening the meeting, The NOBLE CHAIRMAN (Viscount Ranelagh) read the following report of the executive committee, which was agreed to : The annexed returns show the satisfactory state of the Society's business for the first three quarters of the finan cial year : The total sale of land to Midsummer, 1861, is .. •• .. The total withdrawals since the formation of the Society (7th Sept., 1852) to Mid summer, 1864, are The returns of the register of the order of rights are as follow : Completed. Drawn. Seniority. Total. 5,368 3,234 1,706 10,308 Deduct rights exercised on estates, &c, .... 7,797 Unexercised rights... The last share number on the register by seniority is No. 14,813; and the last share issued up to Midsummer. 1864, was No. 20,661. The executive committee have the grati fication to report to the shareholders that the two allotments of the Plough-lane, Battersea, estate, on the 6th of April and the 22d of June, have been remarkably successful. The board was induced to acquire this valuable building property owing to the rapid sale and development of the York-road estate, which was the society's first acquisition of land in Battersea. The Plough-lane estate is a continuation of the York-road, towards the Wandsworth-road, and the estate is close to the Clapham Junction and Wandsworth stations, and to the steamboat piers. The first portion of the Plough. lane land, offered on the 6th of April, was entirely sold prior to the second allotment on the 22d of June, and a very large sale has already been effected. The contract for the works on the entire estate is already signed, and no time will be lost in completing the roads, the committee having been enabled to secure for the estate increased facilities of communication with the adjoining localities and railway stations. Building operations have been commenced, and the value of the land has been amply proved by the resale by allottees, at premiums, of their plots. Increased house accommodation in the vicinity of Battersea Park and the central stations on the south side of the Thames is so much in demand, that it may be expected with confidence that the Plough-lane estate will be more speedily covered with houses than any property previously allotted by the Con servative Land Society. The works for the Bishop's Stort ford and Colchester estates are in progress. The roads in the Hen wick-road, Worcester, have just been completed. Another allotment is fixed for Wednesday, July 20, when the sale of the Avenue estate, Southampton, will be com menced; and on this occasion will be also offered to the holders of rights of choice, and to the general public, a handsome villa residence, "The Orangery," just erected on the St. Margaret's estate, Isleworth and Twickenham ; villas and houses on the Round-hill-peak estate, Brighton, commanding extensive views of the sea and country; two villa residences at Enfield, close to the station ; four villas on the Iffiey-road estate, Oxford ; and several houses in occupation on the Kentish-town, Hackney, Old Ford, Roman-road (North Bow), and Putney estates. The allot tees of the society will please to bear in mind that the last day for sending in claims for the freehold franchise in the counties is Wednesday, July 20; and on or before that day the solicitor should be put in possession of the necessary information, in order that they may be duly registered. In the event of any objections being made, the purchasers of land through the society's instrumentality must take spe cial care that the solicitor is supplied in time with the re quisite deeds and particulars, specfying at the same time the most convenient polling districts in the county or coun ties in which their property is situated. If there be any alterations in the qualifications, or any change of address, the allottees should at once communicate with the society's legal adviser, who will attend to their interests free of ex pense.

Tragic Affair at Sea, On Sunday morning, between 12 and 1 o'clock, a Scotch schooner of 80 tons, named the Rosehaugh, of Cromarty, left Sunderland, coal laden, for the former place, being towed out by a steam tug and accompanied by a pilot. The crew, four only in number, were Andrew Ross, captain, Hugh Mackay, mate, William Duff, able seaman, and Charles Munro, ordinary seaman. These men were all under the influence of drink, more or less, but were not quarrelling when left by the pilot and steamer. On the contrary, the Rosehaugh's sails were set, all right, and she proceeded on her voyage. The captain went down below to light his pipe, and then proceeded to the helm to take the command and steer his vessel. A few minutes after the three men had left and gone forward, Ross heard some quarrelling between the mate and Munro, but took no notice of it, and as the sail was between him and the men tie could not see what was going on. Immediately afterwards he saw the midships bulwark, which is moveable, float past, and heard a faint cry for help from the mate, whose voice sounded like that of a drowning man. He ran forward, but could see nothing, and found himself alone in the ship. He searched the forecastle carefully, but saw no one, and there fore brought to his ship till she was taken in tow by a steamer for Shields and taken into Sunderland, wherd she arrived about 2 o'clock, or shortly afterwards. The captain can give no other account of the affair than the above, and it is surmised that the mate and Munro may have begun to fight, and the other man (Duff) going between to sepa rate them the three began a violent struggle, and, looked in each others' arms, staggered over the side into the sea, the bulwark, which was rotten and insecure, giving way under their weight. It is strange, however, that the captain, when the ship was boarded on her return off Sunderland by a young pilot named Dodd, took up an axe and threatened to cut off the pilot's hands if he did not leave hold of the " fender," or attempted to climb on board. Dodd afterwards complained to the police of this matter, and the captain was accordingly arrested and locked up on the charge of assaulting the young man. The crew, it seems, were drink ing all the week, and on Saturday night actually took ashore some rope from the ship and tried to sell it for drink. The unfortunate men who were drowned all belong to Cro marty. Mackay was unmarried, and about 30 years of age ; Duff was 28 years of age, married, and had two children; Munro being a lad of 20, and unmarried, The occurrence happened off Whitburn, three and half miles north-east from Sunderland harbour.

Yesterday at 2 o'clock, the 88th anniversary of Ameri' can independence, a number of Americans entertained at breakfast, in St. James's Hall, Captain Wheeler and Engi neer Cushman, of the Hearsage. Although the presence of these officers in London was not known until late in the evening before there was a considerable company present and much enthusiasm manifested. Amongst those present were the Hon. Bradford E. Wood, United States IV/Die ter to Denmark—Captai n B oy d , U n i ted States Mar i ne Corps C. E. Wilson, S ecre t ary o f L egation, London —Henry T.

WILSON, Esq., proposed the h ea l t h o f t h e , President of th e U n i te d States, whose name was received with nine cheers. The Son. 3fr. W OOD responded to this. He said, the President wah emphatically as the chairman pronounced him, an boxiest man. To a great extent un familiar with political lif e w hen he ente re d upon hi s prow he had ad vanced step by step to the ha sent tt d eo u df t ittise g , m a and ta rt w a E a task o f greater difficulty than is u e in America—whi c h was t h e com pletion of the work that we now see was but partially done i n 1776—(applause) —for by an unfortunate omission slavery was is that day still allowed to live by the very men who declared that all men were created free and equal. it w as only because she was permittel to import slaves a few years longer that South Carolina agreed to enter the Union. All could imagine the joy that " Old Abe" in his trying labours would have when news of the great events which had recently happened—(loud cheers)—arrived at Washington. The second toast was "The Queen of England," whose name was received with loud cheers. ..._ The third was " The Navy of the United States—(long.. contined cheers)—we greet its representatives on our tut. tional anniversary with a nation's gratitude." Captain WHEELER, well known as the manager of the guns in the late conflict with the Alabama, said that he know more about fighting than about making speeches; but he thanked them„ and congratulated them on the event that had so gladdened the hearts of all loyal Americans. The CHAIRMAN said—We have here that wicked man who was accused, and justly, of having laid chains over the sides of the Kearsage to protect his boilers and engines. Mr CUSHMAN rose, amidst applause, and said that the plan they had adopted was one that had been recommended by Captain Thornton at New Orleans, and had at that city saved all the vessels from being sunk. The Alabama only struck that chain-cable once (in his opinion—others on board said twice); but he would like to hese more of the pirates come out and try if they could do way better, larket ess aS 339 34s 42s 35s —s 36s —s 365 —9 333 small , 1 last ley, 8. d• 18 6 17 3 17 3 [7 3 18 0 [8 3 7 3 [8 6 ,7 3 ,ING aeon ries, 'S, [2,
